Future Commission Information and the Waitlist
4 years ago
General
Good evening to you all,
I've been doing some thinking and I have a few things I'd like to tell you.
1)
To begin, over the past year I've corresponded with a good deal of people who have been interested in commissioning me. That warms my heart dearly and I do appreciate your enjoyment of my artwork. That being said, to those of you who I've talked to I mentioned a "waitlist" for when I did decide to open up comms again. The idea was that the first person on the list would be contacted and, if they were ready, they would have priority over everyone else. That is not a fictional document, and I do have it updated with the lot of you who've asked to be put on that list. You've been very patient with it and I am sorry to say I will be doing away with that list! It was a creation that seemed good in practice because there wasn't a lot of interest in my artwork during its conception, and I wasn't as busy as I am... but that is not the case anymore. So, to those who are on that list and expected to be contacted, I apologize but it's no longer being used. Now, while that seems unfair... I have good news! Which brings me to the second part...
2)
In the near (that term is vague for a reason) future I do plan to open up comms again. It'll be single slot stuff. One person at a time. The difference this time as opposed to past comm slots is that, with the waitlist abandoned, anyone can pitch me their idea.
My thinking with this matter is that I'll open up a comm slot for a short period of time (maybe a day or two max?), and during that time whoever would like to commission me can send me a note or some sort of message detailing what it is they would like done (info about that in #4 below). Information such as the style of commission, content, characters, etc. should all be displayed in a manner I will define below.
From the individuals who send me their comm info, I'll choose one idea at my own discretion and let y'all know what the deal is. I'll be transparent with this: it's is a highly opinionated choice, with my preferences and personal connections having a rather large impact on what gets chosen. Even things such as price and commission type may weigh in on what I would like to do. This may make it difficult for people to pitch their ideas because there may be a high likelihood of rejection, but I implore you, please don't be afraid. I love reading all the ideas that come my way and each pitch is unique in its own regard. If I don't decide to choose your comm, don't fret! You've just got to try again the next time I open things up.
In summation, I'll be switching over to a comm system where I y'all pitch me your ideas and I'll choose my favorite one. I enjoy drawing content I personally like. The money is just a nice bonus for doing something I love!
3)
Also, if you've glanced at my prices you've seen they've slowly inched their way up. I feel the quality of my art has gotten better and my pricing hasn't really reflected that change. I upped the prices because I do put a great deal of effort into my works, and if y'all value my artwork enough to get a comm at the prices I set, you have my love and appreciation. ^^
4)
Closing this off, my primary purpose for making this journal is to let y'all know what's up with my comm situation. Since there will be a limited window for when I do open up my comm slot, it'd be best to have your idea already formulated, or at the least you've got a decent idea as to what you'd like me to do.
Your message, when the time comes, should detail...
-The type of comm you'd like and what elements you want to include (Ex: Cell-shaded, no background, detailed bulges, etc.)
a. The character(s) you'd like involved
b. The situation you'd like your character(s) in. What pose, dialogue, belly size, location, etc.
c. Any reference images you wish to include (can be a link to a post)
d.Any additional comments or concerns you've got. I'm happy to answer questions.
TLDR:
1) Waitlist peeps, I'm sorry but I'm doing away with the waitlist.
2) Gonna opt for a comm system where y'all pitch me your ideas and I choose my favorite
3) Comm prices have gone up
4) Here's a template for what to include when I decide to open my comms again. This is just so you can prepare your thoughts for when y'all see that journal letting you know the window is open to pitch your ideas. It's easy to just copy and paste if you'd like!
5) If you've got any questions I'd be delighted to answer them. Thanks for understanding and I look forward to posting the journal letting you know my comms are open. Thanks. ^^
